Answer:
Explanation:
What is Pharynx ?
The pharynx is a common passage for food and air at the back of throat. The masticated food (or food that has been chewed) from the mouth passes into the oesophagus through pharynx.
The oesophagus or food pipe is a muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. No digestion occurs in the oesophagus.
If accidently a small particle of food enters the windpipe, coughing occurs and the particle is thrown out.
